    Just found this thing in my barn. No clue what is is. Chunk of metal, rounded on top and bottom. I tried clearing up the label with little luck. The few things I think I can make out on the label are "10oz" "Fairm..." "...ding" and the logo looks like FTF with the first F backwords. What in the world is this?

      I believe it was and still used for auto body repair. this is held inside the dented fender and a hammer would hit the fender from the out side to take the dent or ripple in the metal out.
